Gemara study methods in general – is there such a thing?

Your Honor,
I would be happy if you could contact me if you have written about this in the past in detail or if I may suggest that you write a long and explanatory article on the various teaching methods that exist in the commentators and later ones. For example – the difference between the Pfalpol method and the Brisk method. If you could bring a specific issue and see how the Pfalpol learns it and how the one who uses the Brisk method learns it.
And in general – define more what a "study method" is, because seemingly the differences are between people and how their minds work. No?
And further – is it correct to say that the Brisk method has gained popularity? If the Brisk method is what is commonly spoken of, then it is really a simple Western head of today. In other words, even if the method had not been created, it seems that the normal thinking of the reasonable person today is like this. No?
And further – can you point out a clear difference in thinking between the first and the last? Isn't it seemingly simple that the Rambam, for example, studied and "his head worked" precisely in the definitions of what is somehow appropriated as the "Brisk method"?
Thank you very much in advance!
